Setting One-click trading defaults (Webtrader)

If One-click trading is enabled, you can place an order with a single click (or tap) on a:

  • Bid or Ask price in a watchlist or
  • Buy or Sell button on a chart.

The order is executed with preconfigured defaults for lot size, stop loss pips and take profit pips. If you don’t explicitly preconfigure a default, Webtrader uses a system default.

Tip: One-click trading defaults are specific to each instrument (i.e. setting a default for one instrument does not change the settings for any other instrument).

Note: In this procedure, the word ‘click’ refers to either a click or a tap.

Default lot size

You can set the default lot size from a chart or an order form.

Method 1

1. Display the chart for the instrument that you want to trade using One-click trading.

2. Enter or select a default lot size from the dropdown menu between the Sell and Buy buttons:

Method 2

1. Open a watchlist that includes the instrument you want to trade using One-click trading.

2. Right-click (or press and hold) on the instrument and choose Buy Order (or Sell Order) from the menu that appears.

3. On the order form that appears, enter the default value in the Lots field.

4. Click or tap Cancel. (This cancels the order but saves the lot size you entered.)

Default stop loss and take profit pips

1. Open a watchlist that includes the instrument you want to trade using One-click trading.

2. Right-click (or press and hold) on the instrument and choose Pre-config SL/TP from the menu that appears. A window appears for you to enter the defaults:

3. Select Stop Loss and/or Take Profit.

4. Select or enter the number of pips.

5. Click Apply.
